"Sorry, but this is Fedora; there is no expectation of settings being preserved from one version to another". I think that this is obviously wrong but some do have this attitude and is apparently very hard to do something about it. Moreover in this particular case for a person who did that breakage, and was aware what is going on, it was a simple matter of adding some package scripts with gconftool-2 which would read old settings and write corresponding new ones as needed (very far from obvious what new ones may be and no idea what were reasons behind the change) to avoid the problem. Yes, you would have to walk through all user accounts on a machine. This is a nature of the beast. As things stand expect much more "fun" of that sort after realease as the report was closed with a blatantly false "NOTABUG".
